The film illustrates
the workings of the project and shows how one would experience this
interactive and dynamic installation in the heart of Chinatown.

The piece Chinatown
WORK, 2006 shows passer-bys and pedestrians walking
by the installation, the computer processes the silhouette and masks
out the frame of the interior image. The passer-by blends the two scales
of information, one interior image of a garment factory and the exterior
image of time-lapse footage of food markets on Mott Street. The resultant
composited image is projected onto the screen or wall surface, changing
the texture and image in real time as people walks by.

The installation
allows the public to fully participate and interact with the piece,
allowing a heightened relationship between the context, workers and
the environment of Chinatown itself. The project hopes to engage the
larger community and celebrate the individual while raising the identity
of the people inhabiting the interior and exterior fabric of Chinatown.

The mock-up is 1
minute 20 seconds long. It is recommended that it be viewed on a high-speed
internet connection with flash 8.
